After emergency medical services arrived, “she was pronounced deceased on scene.”
The Deputy Commissioner also confirmed that the operator of the vehicle “did not remain on scene.”
No arrests have been made at this time and investigations remain ongoing.
Underwood — who was born in New York City — began acting at the age of 7. She got her big break in 2005 when she joined the cast of Nickelodeon’s “All That” in its 10th season.
She also spent a year on the first national tour of “Hairspray” as Little Inez and voiced Fuchsia in the Nick Jr. show “Little Bill.”
Following her short stint on TV, Underwood returned to New York City, where she was living a private life.
However, in 2023, a video surfaced on social media where she appeared to be struggling.
